Innovation for spaceflight SN5 spacecraft of SpaceX corporation

The SN5 is the pathfinder for the new kind of spaceflight. That thing is the "slow-moving" spacecraft, which can cross the atmosphere with the slow speed. The thing is that the fuel, what is needed to raise the craft that has a certain weight to orbit trajectory is always the same. The energy that is forming when the fuel is burning is stable for each weight of cargo. 

So that means that adjusting the fuel pumping the shuttle can hover in the air, and if the system would lift-off at a very slow speed, that thing allows that the shape of the shuttle is free, and the rocket can operate in the larger area. And there is a possibility that in future this kind of vertical take-off and landing shuttles can bring samples from other planets like Mars and the icy moons like Europa and Titan to Earth. 

The water of icy moons can share with hydrogen and oxygen by using electrolysis. And that craft can use those elements as fuel. 

In the most incredible visions, the shuttle can operate at the area near the gas giant, and when it needs the fuel, it can go to icy moons like Europa or Enceladus for filling its tanks. The craft would simply drill the hole in the icy core. 

And then put the tube in it, and then the water will rise to the tank, where it can be shared hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis. The water can be driven through the turbine wheel, and that thing would also able to use other energy forms, which saves nuclear fuel. 

That futuristic shuttle would be equipped with very sophisticated artificial intelligence, which means that this hypothetical craft can travel and operate independently near the gas planets like Jupiter and Saturn. Maybe the system is powered by a quantum computer, which makes it possible to run a very large and complicated code.

The same engine can be used as a chemical rocket or NERVA (Nuclear Energy for Rocket Vehicle Application) -system. If the airship with wind generators will lay to the atmosphere of the giant planet, that system can deliver energy to the shuttle by using laser or maser systems. 

The craft can be equipped with the nuclear reactor, but it can also benefit things like geothermal energy for making the electricity for that process and the windmills can transform the wind of the gas planet to electricity. That means that in the atmosphere would lay the small airship, what can use similar systems, with the laser-loaded drones, what can operate limitless time. 

And that thing would save the nuclear fuel for returning to Earth. When the mission is over, and the samples are collected, the shuttle can return to Earth. The tanks of the same chemical engine can be filled by using gas from the atmosphere of the gas giant, and then the system can turn to use the nuclear thermal NERVA system, what allows the craft to pass the gravity field of the Saturn or Jupiter, and start to bring the samples to Earth.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low.  The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away.  When the box is filled with quantum gas and som

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.  An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate.  AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru
